Fishing for a Cure

The Capital Area Bass Masters fishing tournament to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) moved from Harrisburg to Sunbury this year, and the results are wonderful! Seventy-five boats participated and raised an impressive $16,145 for the mission. This brings the Capital Area Bass Masters fundraising total to $99,000 to beat blood cancers!　 Please join me in thanking event planner, and Central PA Chapter Trustee, Bob Herman

for his fundraising expertise and his dedication to our patients.

In addition to recruiting those who love to fish, Bob recruited many event sponsors including Computer Aid Inc. (CAI), the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, Tri-State Scrap, the PA Bass Federation Nation City and the city of Sunbury.

Thank you, Bob, for showing us how we can fish for a cure!
